ⲄⲀⲖⲀⲦⲎⲤ 3
1 ⲁ̅ ⲱ ⲛⲁⲑⲏⲧ ⲛⲅⲁⲗⲁⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲫⲑⲟⲛⲉⲓ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲃⲁⲗ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲩⲧⲟϭϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲩ
O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
2 ⲃ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉ ϯⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲏ ⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
5 ⲉ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲭⲟⲣⲏⲅⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲛϩⲉⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
8 ⲏ̅ ⲉⲣⲉ ⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲁⲥϣⲣⲡ ⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϫⲓⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲕ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
10 ⲓ̅ ⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲁ ⲡⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ ϥⲥⲏϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ϥⲥϩⲟⲩⲟⲣⲧ ⲛϭⲓ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲛϥⲛⲁⲁϩⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡϫⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲁⲁⲩ
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϣⲟⲡⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ ⲡⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ϥⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ϥⲥϩⲟⲩⲟⲣⲧ ⲛϭⲓ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲁϣⲉ ⲉⲡϣⲉ
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲧⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲁϫⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲉⲣⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲑⲉⲧⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲏ ⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ
Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲛⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲕⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉϫⲛ ϩⲁϩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉϫⲛ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲉ
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲉⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲣⲡ ⲧⲁϫⲣⲟⲥ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲉ ⲙⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲛϥⲛⲁⲧⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲟⲩⲉⲥϥⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ
And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲓⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ
For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲥⲓⲥ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲉⲓ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲟϣϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲧϭⲓϫ ⲙⲡⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏⲥ
Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ⲉϥϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϯ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲩⲛ ϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲁⲛϩⲟ ⲟⲛⲧⲱⲥ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ
Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲁⲥⲥⲉⲩϩ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϯ ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ ⲙⲛ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϩⲓ ϩⲉⲗⲗⲏⲛ ⲙⲛ ϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲙⲛ ϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ϩⲓ ⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ ⲟⲩⲁ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
